Mr Shantaram Naik M.P. and Secretary AICC, today, distributed bedsheets to the inmates of Old Age Home , infront of Hospicio Hospital, Margao on the eve of his 66th birthday, which falls on 12th April.

One of the inmates , an old lady by name Sunanda Parcekar sang birthday song “Bar bar ye din aye, tun jiyo hazaron sal” . Mrs Parcekar , who was compelled to stay in the Old Age Home due to family compulsions , sang the song narrating her vows , ” Ajib dastan hai ye, kahan shuru kahan khatam, Ye Manjilem Hai Kaun si , Na Voh Samaj Sake na ham”

On this occassion, making a brief statement before electronic media, Mr Naik said the Schemes of Central as also State Government as regards giving assistance to senior and aged citizens ,should be further strengthened. One gets satisfaction of serving and remembering ones own parents while helping the old people living in such houses due to compulsions.

Our Naik is a living example of solidarity, concern, fellow feeling and respect for the downtrodden, marginalized, stigmatized and abandoned. Nice to see the MP acknowledging the existence and importance of our senior citizens in Margao. Wishing Naik a very happy birthday. Ad Multos Annos.
